shrimp are crustaceans that can be found all most any where in the world they live in river beds and ocean floors around the world, filtering sand and particles in the water. Shrimp are known to stay in schools that contain numerous shrimp individuals, and are able to adapt easily to changes in water conditions. most shrimp rang in size from .3 to 5 cm long. shrimps are omnivores that prey on tiny fish plankton and algae.
One species of shrimp is known to stun it's prey before eating it by making a loud noise with one of it's claws, that makes a snapping sound through the water.Shrimps are haunted by whale, dolphins, starfish ,crabs, pelicans, puffins as well as human. when reproducing the female shrimp lay up to about a million eggs at once, they hatch after a few weeks and live among plankton till big enough. However most shrimp only have a life span of about 1 to 2 years. all shrimp are invertebrates meaning they have no backbone, shrimp have a hard transparent exoskeleton

Shrimp are slender with long muscular abdomens. They look somewhat like small lobsters, but not like crabs. The abdomens of crabs are small and short, whereas the abdomens of lobsters and shrimp are large and long. The lower abdomens of shrimp support pleopods which are well adapted for swimming. The carapace of crabs are wide and flat, whereas the carapace of lobsters and shrimp are more cylindrical. The antennae of crabs are short, whereas the antennae of lobsters and shrimp are usually long, reaching more than twice the body length in some shrimp species
shrimp are commonly mistaking for prawns but differ in gills placement and size.
